• [ ] Pack a small scale if you can (travel-friendly ones are tiny).
• [ ] Pre-grind your coffee at home with a cold brew setting.
• [ ] Bring a filter bag or a simple steeping bottle—they're easy to rinse.
• [ ] Know your water source: buy bottled if the tap is questionable.
• [ ] Set a timer on your phone for 16 hours, not "whenever I wake up."
